    I am looking for someone with a Boston Top on a 2A or 3A with the 3A windshield. I would like to get a bunch of detailed photos of the Door Jam and how the latch is made. And any other details of the door.

    The Boston top was made by the New England Willys Distributor and was one of the very few tops made with suicide doors. Which in practice are MUCH better then front opening doors you can open the door on a Boston top and easily see your front wheel as well as no obstruction when getting in or out of the jeep. the simple straight hinge line is so much cleaner.

    Yep I have all the eWillys stuff. It has very little detail about the doors and door jams.
